St. Quentin Cabaret was an inn about 500m east of Kandahar Farm, near the village of Wulverghem and the front line. At times, the inn was used as a battalion headquarters. The cemetery here was started by the 46th (North Midland) Division in February 1915 and continued to be used by units fighting in this sector, until it fell into German hands in April 1918. The cemetery was recovered in September 1918, but only two further burials were made.
